Although the very basis for establishment of the discipline of systems engineering is grounded in development of large, complex systems, the principles and processes are also extremely valuable for other types of systems. As discussed in (INCOSE Handbook 2004) the responsibilities of systems engineers, that include “requirements analysis, functional analysis and allocation, architecture/design, systems analysis and control, and verification and validation of the system”, while “most apparent on large, complex systems … are also important in the development, production, deployment, and support of much smaller systems.” A Quick Reaction Capability (QRC), the focus of this paper, is a type of system development characterized by deployment of a critical capability to satisfy an urgent need in which the normal acquisition process is accelerated.
